Essaouira to Taghazout, the comfortable way.
Plan on about 1h45 for the 135 km between Essaouira and Taghazout, following the N1 through argan country and finally the N1 cliff road. Essaouira is a whitewashed, walled fishing port on the Atlantic — Portuguese-era ramparts, a working harbour full of blue boats and a steady trade wind that made it Morocco's windsurf capital.
Who makes the Essaouira to Taghazout trip
Why this trip? Most departures from Essaouira are the second half of a coast-and-city trip, or surfers and kiters moving on once the wind drops. As for Taghazout, almost everyone comes to surf — a week at a surf camp, yoga above the waves, or the right-hand point breaks in winter swell.
The road from Essaouira to Taghazout
South of Essaouira the N1 heads inland through Smimou and Tamanar's argan hills — the stretch where goats famously climb the trees — before cutting back towards the coast at Imsouane. Southbound from Imsouane the coast road passes Tamri's banana plantations and the Cap Ghir lighthouse before dropping into the surf villages. Good places to break the drive: an argan oil cooperative near Tamanar, goats in the argan trees around Smimou and the Cap Ghir lighthouse viewpoint.
Arriving in Taghazout
Taghazout is a former fishing village 20 km north of Agadir that has become Morocco's surf capital, with point breaks like Anchor Point and Killer Point and a newer resort development, Taghazout Bay, just south of it. The old village is a tangle of steep lanes; many surf houses are reached on foot from the main road. Tell us your camp's name — drivers know where each one meets guests.
Before you go
Surf season is October to April; summer is flatter, warmer and busier with Moroccan families. From Taghazout, Imsouane's long right-hander is 45 minutes further up the coast. The return leg, Taghazout to Essaouira, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
¿Coche privado, autobús, gran taxi o tren?
The fastest way from Essaouira to Taghazout is a private transfer: about 1 h 45 door to door for a fixed €82 for the whole vehicle. The coach is cheaper per person but adds a transfer at each end and roughly an hour of waiting; a shared grand taxi only leaves once six seats are sold.
| Option | Typical price | Journey time | Door to door | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (Bacharide) | from €82 per vehicle | 1 h 45 | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€10 per person | 2 h 45 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€10 per seat | 2 h | No | Leaves only when six seats are sold. No seatbelts in the rear, no boot space for large cases. |
| Self-drive hire car | ~€45 per day + fuel | 1 h 45 | Yes | Flexible, but you handle the mountain passes, city parking and the deposit hold. |
Coach, grand taxi and rail figures are typical published fares and timings for Moroccan operators (CTM, Supratours, ONCF) and vary by season. Only the Bacharide fare is fixed and quoted at booking.
